We heard a lot of people complaining about the sequels and reboots plaguing the big screen in 2017, but we saw a LOT of originality — some of which had people running screaming and LITERALLY passing out in the aisles!

Yep, while superheroes ruled the box office, plenty of smaller films were pushing boundaries with violence, sex, and just plain weirdness.

The 44-year-old mother, who is homeless, had allegedly fled the area by the time police arrived on the scene. Responding officers found Kyles' 14-year-old daughter, who allegedly smelled of gasoline.

It all started when the girl's mother noticed a strange man in the parking lot prior to the crime.

She told the store's owner:

"She had said that the guy was looking at her from when she got out of her car, but she didn't think he would follow her."

As seen in the video, the man yanks the girl by her arm as she was playing near a candy machine. The mother — who was also holding an infant — and another customer (seen in the tank top above) ran after the suspect.

Luckily, the girl was able to break free from the man. According to Craig Battles, a barber next door:

"She was crying. She wasn't screaming. She was really terrified… So when he ran… me, my clients. I was cutting hair. A couple of people was waiting. We all ran around there to see what was going on."

Eventually, bystanders tackled the man until authorities arrived. He was arrested on charges of kidnapping and child cruelty, and is being held on $250,000 bail.
